Pour yourself something tall, load a bowl, and settle in — because Episode 3 of The High Conversations is exactly as organized as you'd expect from two people who are, at time of recording, absolutely cooked.

Adam is somehow operating on a 100mg gummy, a THC + mushroom chocolate his wife lovingly shoved in his mouth as a consolation prize, and whatever was still floating through his system from earlier. Pris is cruising on Planet Seven and Rainbow Runts. It's fine. Everything is fine.

Adam had been preparing for weeks to interview legendary adult film star Nina Hartley on their other podcast, Beyond Monogamy. She was a no-show at noon. Adam was heartbroken, Pris dosed him with shroom chocolate to soften the blow, and he spent the next hour melting into the couch watching cartoons. Then Nina emailed. She was ready. Adam had to sprint-assemble his entire recording setup — elevated on gummies AND mushrooms — while seeing her rendered in full purple on screen. The audio has echo. He doesn't care. It was beautiful.

• The Movie Theater Incident: A paranoid Pris, convinced the plainclothes cops two rows up were there specifically for her, attempts to sprint down the aisle screaming "I SURRENDER." Her companion physically removes her from the building.
• The Toilet Weed Funeral: Holding a friend's stash in her waistband at a gas station, she pulls her pants down and watches it drop straight into the toilet. She flushes it. She has to tell the guy. She does not recommend this.

From insomnia and anxiety to ADHD and menopause — Adam and Pris get genuinely honest about how cannabis has changed their daily lives, their parenting, and their relationship. Also: why edibles hit different, what to do when you've taken too much (hint: Pink Floyd), and why some strains make anxiety worse, not better.

Harry Potter vs. Will Ferrell vs. Seth Rogen vs. Robin Williams' entire dramatic catalog. Adam makes a passionate case for Barry Gordy's The Last Dragon that you will not see coming. They also accidentally pitch a full Dirty Dancing rewrite from a dad's perspective.

A Lionel Richie tangent leads to a genuine Motown deep dive (Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, young Stevie Wonder), followed by Adam's hot take that Starbucks is trash and Pris's sincere love for the McRib. These things connect. We believe in them.

• Planet Seven — Euphoric, uplifted, happy
• Rainbow Runts — Pure relaxation and chill vibes
• Planet Sherb (honorable mention) — Euphoric hybrid, diesel berry & orange

• Beyond Monogamy — Adam & Pris's other podcast
• High Hopes on Hulu — Watch it baked. Non-negotiable.
• The Leafly app — Know what you're putting in your body
• Dutch Bros — Better than Starbucks (Adam will not be taking questions)

It's 4/20, we're absolutely blasted, and we're eating the best pizza in Central Texas. Happy holidays, couch crew.

For Episode 2, Adam and Pris ditch the couch and take the show on the road — straight to their favorite Detroit-style pizza spot, Via 313 in Buda, TX. Between cheesy appetizers, a half-and-half pie (triple threat with black olives and mushrooms for Adam, Bobo Brazil for Pris), and the kind of stoned rambling that only happens at 4/20 dinner, this episode is pure, unfiltered, elevated chaos.

If you don't know Via 313, you're sleeping. Detroit-style pizza — thick, square, crispy-bottomed, and dangerously addictive. Adam has been there four times in five days. No shame. We ordered artichoke dip with feta and bruschetta to start, then went full half-and-half on the main event. Hot honey was involved. It was perfect.

Adam started the morning with a half gummy, came down around noon, held out for Pris, then went back in with a full 100mg gummy before heading out. By the time the pizza arrived, the edible had fully kicked in. Pris had a pre-rolled bamba waiting at home and a joint she rolled herself — using blunt wraps with a ceramic tip, thankyouverymuch. It was that kind of night.

Does coffee actually change your high? Pris went full AI research mode right there at the table and dropped some real science on us: caffeine is a stimulant that counters the couch-lock effect of THC, making you feel more awake and mentally alert without necessarily intensifying the high. Translation? Coffee plus weed equals clean house high. Adam remains skeptical but is cautiously willing to experiment at the gym.

Pris smokes before she works out and swears by it for motivation — as long as she doesn't sit down first. Adam has tried it, didn't love it, and mostly just wants to lay back and watch cartoons when he's elevated. The couple's old trainer back in the day used to preach the gospel of pre-workout cannabis, claiming it opened your arteries or something. Adam never fully bought in. Pris is a believer.

Adam thought 4/20 was a police code for marijuana possession. He was wrong. Pris looked it up (again, AI at the table, we're living in the future) and delivered the actual history: back in the early 1970s, a group of San Rafael high school kids called The Waldos used to meet at 4:20 PM after school to search for a rumored abandoned cannabis crop. The code "4:20" spread through their circle, caught on with Grateful Dead fans, got picked up by magazines, movies, and eventually the internet, and became the globally recognized holiday it is today. Adam's mind was blown. Also — 4/20 is Hitler's birthday. That's a fun little buzzkill fact Adam brought up at the end. You're welcome.

For Adam, weed used to be a solo, introspective teenage thing — figuring yourself out, internal philosopher hours. As an adult, it's become a social activity, like drinking used to be. Speaking of which — Adam and Pris made a conscious choice to trade alcohol for cannabis as their primary vice. The crossfade incident that finally sealed it: a night out where Adam had taken an edible, then started drinking, went cold and sweaty, lost all color, had to step outside, and they had to leave early. That combo just doesn't work for him. Pris's reason was simpler: hangovers and weight gain. Cannabis won.

Pris recently learned to roll her own blunts using leaf wraps she found at Blazin Susan — complete with a ceramic tip instead of the old cardboard filter. She YouTube'd the technique. It worked. Mostly. Adam has self-diagnosed himself with "bitch-ass lungs" and can't smoke correctly despite having smoked cigarettes for 20 years because he takes full cigarette drags instead of the half-breath technique Pris keeps trying to teach him. They're planning to set up a proper dab station after the move.

Pris's favorite food is cereal. Her go-to is Lucky Charms (the kids steal the marshmallows), with Raisin Bran Crunch as a current rotation staple. Adam is a pizza man through and through — his first word, his first steps, his longest relationship. Pizza has never failed him. Specific pizza places have failed him. But pizza itself? Never.

Via 313 is located in multiple Texas locations including Buda/Kyle. If you're in Central Texas and haven't been — go.

Welcome to The High Conversations — the podcast where you pull up a seat, spark one up, and hang out with Adam and Pris on a Friday night smoke sesh. No agenda. No scripts. Pure entertainment.

If you found us through Beyond Monogamy — this is NOT that show. No sex talk, no relationship advice. This here is the weed podcast. That's it. That's the whole premise.

In Episode 1, you're crashing a Friday night session mid-sesh, mid-munchies, and mid-chaos. You're not a listener. You're a guest at the couch.

• Meet your hosts: Adam and Pris — together 15 years, parents of five (four still at home, plus a girlfriend, because they're those people), and absolutely not here to be polished or professional.
• What are they smoking? Pris has no idea what strain she's got, but she's loving her birthday gift — a gorgeous art deco purple Vesper water pipe. Adam has been riding a gummy high since 10am on UGI Cannabis 100mg gummies and has zero regrets.
• First time stories: Pris got slapped by her mom coming home high. Adam was sneaking the car out to pick up a friend from Popeye's in exchange for chicken and free brick weed. Different roads. Same couch.
• The Greatest Edible Horror Story Ever Told: Their daughter left them a homemade weed cereal bar. What followed was a Tom Hanks movie, full-body twitching, hallucinations, a full-blown panic attack in 30-degree weather in his underwear, dry heaving, and Pris showing up to her hardware store job the next morning still absolutely cooked. An all-time classic.
• Unpopular opinions, elevated: Pris goes on record — Selena is NOT the Queen of Tejano (Lydia Mendoza, 1934, look it up). Adam: if you drive a jacked-up truck and you're not a farmer, he's judging you. Firmly.
• Fried chicken discourse: Somehow becomes a whole thing. Pris offers to trade weed for Popeyes. It goes exactly how you'd expect.

Is this episode rough around the edges? A little. They're finding their footing — Pris keeps projecting to the back of the room and Adam nearly died hitting the gravity bong. But that's the show. Real, unfiltered, and funny as hell. Stick with them. It's going to be a hell of a ride.

🎧 Find us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, and Pandora. Audio only for now — but trust us, you won't need to see us to feel us.
